Ines loves Audrey Hepburn...

In honor of what would have been Audrey Hepburn's 85th birthday, let us take a moment to look a little closer at this fashion icon who never happened to be very far away from her long gloves...

Actress Audrey Hepburn rose to stardom during the Golden Age of Hollywood, but a career filled with on-screen success and off-screen humanitarian efforts has sealed her fate as an icon of both film and fashion.

Audrey was originally born in Brussels, and had some success in a series of British films. Then, in 1953, she was awarded an Academy Award for Roman Holiday. The rest is history...

Audrey had a personal style that was all her own. She was of a classic era, when gloves were still worn in public. She was particularly a fan of long gloves, with many on-screen performances featuring sleeveless, silhouetted dresses and shoulder-high gloves.

Sadly, Hepburn passed away in 1993 after an illustrious career. Her contributions to society will forever be remembered, as will her enduring elegance in the world of fashion.

Happy birthday to a most wonderful woman who made so many contributions to both the world of acting and fashion... she paved the way for women everywhere to make gloves a part of their daily wardrobe. For that, we thank you, Audrey Hepburn!
